Russia v Slovakia

This actually means that England can lose to Wales tommorow and probably still qualify by beating Slovakia in the last game as 4 points would pretty much gaurantee a best 3rd place finish, so I don't see how it cranks up the pressure for tomorrow. We effectively have two shots at getting through to the next round. Win either game and it will be enough.
 
Actually, nobody knows yet.

"Uefa say an emergency committee would have to convene to work out what happens."
Whatever happens it's not likely to be much of a punishment for Russia...they look unlikely to qualify anyway. However imagine if England fail to qualify out of what is effectively a group of three.

3rd place = meeting 1st from another group. I suppose it's just a round earlier than the anticipated QF exit!

I'd rather imagine England romping to victory in our next two games ... People on here would still bitch about it

Another bed wetter

I really don't think that makes much difference myself, there have been enough shocks already to suggest the group winners may not neccessarily be the pre tournament favourites and anyway, you need to face the big boys at some point.
